NurseReflex

Fast enough to use at the bedside. Works with no signal. NurseReflex is the laminated badge card, digitized — every number a nurse actually looks up, in under two seconds, with no login and no internet. WHAT'S INSIDE • LAB VALUES — 41 labs and growing. Normal range, critical values, causes of high and low, and the two things every other app leaves out: what to do about it, and when to call. • DRIP & DOSE MATH — mL/hr, gtt/min for gravity infusions, mcg/kg/min, and desired-over-have. Every result shows the formula it used. • DRUG CLASSES — 18 classes in plain English. What it does, common examples, side effects, what to monitor, patient teaching. Not a 5,000-drug encyclopedia — the key facts, on one screen. • ABG & ELECTROLYTES — a 5-step interpretation walkthrough, the classic patterns, and six electrolytes with causes, signs and nursing actions for high AND low. • NURSING SKILLS — 10 core procedures with the steps, the safety musts, and the mistakes people actually make. Blood administration, foley, NG tube, SBAR, restraints and more. • ANATOMY — 12 color-coded body maps (heart, nephron, brain lobes, skin layers…) with every structure explained and why it matters at the bedside. • TOP DRUGS — 66 med cards in plain English: what it's for, the nursing considerations, key side effects, what to watch. High-alert meds flagged. Generic names, the way you chart. • MY CARDS — your own "oh shit" folder. Unit extensions, door codes, drip concentrations, protocol snippets. The index card in your badge holder, but searchable. Plus favorites — heart any card and it's one tap away. BUILT FOR THE FLOOR Opens in under two seconds. No splash screen, no spinner. 100% offline. Every word is on your phone — stairwells and med rooms included. No account. No login. No forced update before you can look something up. No ads. Not one. Every card cites its source, so you can say where the number came from. FREE TO START. UNLOCK EVERYTHING. Download free and use the core every day: 15 essential labs, 15 top drugs, every calculator, the full ABG walkthrough, starter anatomy maps, and your own My Cards. One purchase unlocks everything — all labs, all 66 drugs, every class, skill, body map and future module. Change phones freely — Restore Purchases just works. WHO IT'S FOR New grads who are tired of feeling like they should already know. Nursing students in clinicals. Experienced nurses who want the number without three taps and a loading bar. Med-surg, ICU, ER, peds, LTC, home health. Every card cites the published reference it came from — Pagana's Mosby's Manual, Lexicomp, ISMP and the other standards, listed in full in Settings. IMPORTANT NurseReflex is a study and reference aid. It is not medical advice and does not replace clinical judgment, your facility's policies, or your pharmacy. Always verify against your institution's protocols before acting. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any nursing board or certifying body.
